    I planted several Floral Lace Crimson Dianthus in the spring of 2010, all thrived and bloomed profusely all summer. Spring of 2011, I was delighted to see all of my plants had survived my zone 3a winter, they grew and bloomed better than ever. A great hardy little plant with brilliant color for the border.
